basal cell incompetence

i'm pretty sure i have a basal cell tumor on my shoulder. i finally did esearch on it & matched pictures and have myself 98% convinced. this is upsetting because i went to have moles checked out by a licensed dermatologist in april. i didn't point this one out specifically but he did look at it among all the others and said fine. but he didn't feel it and he must not have really looked at it because it's a basal cell tumor. i should have told him this one felt different & if you'll notice is not flat and brown like the others, i will spare photos of it because honestly it makes my insides twist in sickly green to think about it. i'm going to call the crap dermatologist tomorrow & get it taken off asap.

out of it

tried to be a good green soldier & walked to the post office this morning and forgot my wallet so couldn't buy postage to mail the box i'd lugged, and so lugged it back home got my wallet & drove it all back to the post office.

walking through alleys lined with trees where all the 17 year cicada mating is going on it was like super high pitched police sirens were going off way in the distance or echoing through a cave miles away, a wild experience.

this site has tables of keyboard shortcuts for all the letters with accents and cedillas you could imagine. to type a tilde, you hold down Alt and type the numbers 0241, release the Alt and voilà!

the aerogarden is trucking right along, the greens are sprouting from every pod. another couple weeks & it'll be harvest time.

all my temecula wine glasses are also holding up, as is the glass i have from west point that says "With Pride We Defend USMA 97." i got it 10 years ago at a dance at west point and i drink OJ from it every morning. right up there with meeting Ray Knight and having Tea Leaf Green say happy birthday to me is the Camp Buckner weekend in august 1994 when my bestest girl friends & i went up to west point for a dance with extremely cute older boys in uniforms. no! sleep! til buckner! we all had just graduated high school & were leaving for college in the next couple of weeks & it was just a really exciting time full of freedom and hormones.
